Follow along with our best tips to get your home feeling like fall.

Scent

As fall rolls in and the crisp, cool air settles in, candles and diffusers become essential for creating the perfect cozy setting for a relaxing fall night in. The soft glow of a flickering candle casts a warm, comforting light, while it's rich, autumnal scents, think spiced pumpkin, crisp apple, or smoky cedar, fill the room with a seasonal charm. 

Meanwhile, diffusers offer a more subtle, continuous fragrance, with essential oils like cinnamon, clove, and vanilla gently permeating the space. Together, these elements not only transform your home into a haven of relaxation but also celebrate the essence of fall, making it a perfect retreat from the chill outside.

You can choose from our variety of tea lights, tapers, and pillar candles. 

Colors

Mix subtle yellows, rich oranges and deep red tones with earthy browns, all colours associated with autumn. You can easily incorporate these colours into your space with toss cushions, blankets & decor items such as candles, trays or florals! 

You also want to keep in mind the colour pallet of your existing space. If you have a very cool toned space with a lot of greys, think of adding in deep purples, sage greens, muted oranges and soft pinks!

If you have a warm toned space with lots of creams, think of adding in darker shades of brown, deep greens, oranges & burgundy.

Now keep in mind that these are just suggestions on colour palettes and there are many colours that can work together well! Take these colours as inspiration if you are a little stuck and don't know where to begin.

Layering & Textures

Refresh with Seasonal Flowers

Beautiful fresh flowers can add a summery feel to your autumn home. To stick to an autumnal theme, choose reds, burnt oranges, ochres, soft greens. Pick seasonal flowers around your garden or at your local greenhouse. Intersperse foliage and branches with your flowers to create more depth.

Don't forget about the vase for your flowers! This is also a great opportunity to add a cozy touch to your space. Instead of a clear glass vase, think of using a smoked glass, metal or pottery. If you're using faux flowers wood vases are a great option too.
